It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and support, which keep pace with the changing needs of today s society. This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners meeting before marking commenced. All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report on the examination. OCR will not enter into any discussion or correspondence in connection with this mark scheme. OCR 2014

4 A703/ 01/ 02 Mark Scheme June 2014 Subject-specific Marking Instructions MULTIPLE CHOICE AND NON-VERBAL ANSWERS If more than one box is ticked no mark is awarded. If more than one letter is written, mark the one inside the box. In some cases candidates are required to write a single word or name - if two answers are given, no mark should be awarded (even if one of these responses is correct) as it is not possible to determine which is the response first selected by the candidate. - correct spelling of the word or name is not required, as long as there is no ambiguity. When the response is a letter in a box, only consider and mark the letter in the box (as it is possible to identify that this is the intended response). ANSWERS IN ENGLISH Answers are assessed from the standpoint of the sympathetic English reader with no knowledge of target language. Where an answer is ambiguous and could equally well be judged right or wrong, give benefit of doubt and mark it as correct. Answers do not need to be in the form of full sentences, nor in totally correct English. Answers given in a different language are marked wrong unless they are near-cognates. (e.g. in French novembre ) Ignore correct but irrelevant / additional information (non-distorting material which does not contradict the correct answer) Harmless Addition (HA). Where the candidate provides a contradictory response and does not understand the context of the questions, no mark should be awarded. If two answers are written one above the other, mark the one on or nearest to the line. If a candidate writes information in brackets, ignore the brackets, marking anything inside them in the usual way. Where the space for answers is set out as (a) and (b) answers are usually interchangeable. Award marks for correct answers wherever they appear. 4
